Rising competition for many of the world’s important crops is sending increasing amounts toward uses other than directly feeding people. These competing uses include making biofuels; and converting crops into processing ingredients, such as livestock meal and hydrogenated oils.
Timor-Leste represents a new case in the dawn of the twenty-first century on how the IMF imposed a top-down neoliberal macroeconomic infrastructure and reform project from scratch.
There is not a single case of China pressuring countries to take unsustainable loans; nor does China use national assets as collateral. In fact, China’s loan conditions are typically far less onerous than those of the West.
Western media has been near silent on the region’s humiliating loss of economic prestige and dominance during Xi’s trip to Riyadh. China can now simultaneously navigate complex relations with Iran, the GCC, Russia, and Arab League states.
An oligarchy is ruling all capitalist countries – the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain and Russia as well. It has converted all economic activity productions into subcontractors of monopoly capital.
Developments on the ground in Ukraine are showing that Washington’s best-laid plans are floundering. There are also growing signs of disunity on Ukraine issue among the European countries and between the latter and the US. Meanwhile, the Russian offensive continues to accelerate.
Discussion with Michael Jabara Carley, an international expert, on Soviet relations with the Great Powers between the two world wars, on questions of “appeasement,” the origins and conduct of the Second World War, and on major current issues.
If you take Mexico out of the equation, China has already overtaken the US as Latin America’s largest trading partner. Excluding Mexico, total trade flows — i.e., imports and exports — between China and Latin America reached $247 billion last year, far in excess of the US’ $173 billion.
U.S.-supplied weaponry has fuelled conflicts, enabled human-rights violations, and helped destabilize not just individual countries but entire regions.
Because of the outflow of finance from elsewhere in the world to the US, all major currencies are weakening against the dollar, including the euro and the pound-sterling. This article is about the weakening of third world currencies, of which the rupee is a prime example.
Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
